Prebble Reservoir Fishing Guide, Delta County, Colorado

• Overview

  You will find Prebble Reservoir in Delta County, Colorado. The ground around here is rolling bush. About 15 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Head to Cedaredge, 8.7 miles away, for anything you forgot. Boulder sits 157 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Prebble Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public occurrence data for Delta County names rainbow trout, white sucker and flannelmouth sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. Read Prebble Reservoir before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 56°F for July and 17°F for January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid May until roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Prebble Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Ryan Reservoir sits 0.5 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Prebble Reservoir may have changed since it was mapped.
